Noon: Cleaning Up ‘Moose Park’

Lauren Champlin and Emily Busch loved playing at Gleneden Community Park. Known as “Moose Park” because of the large moose statue near the playground, this neighborhood gem had all the ingredients for fun. Tucked away in the Gleneden neighborhood, the park’s five acres include a large grassy meadow, perfect for family softball games or soccer scrimmages. The girls enjoyed clambering over rock outcroppings and playing hide and seek among the trees. Swings, slides and a zipline offered hours of summer fun. However, last year the park fell victim to service reductions due to budget cuts. Champlin and Busch, both 9, were dismayed as the green meadow turned brown, and weeds overtook the flowerbeds/ Cindy Hval , SR. More here.
